From Denny: These are outrageous times. To really save the post office and pull it out of huge debt is to start sending snail mail cards, letters and packages. Really? Well, yeah, that obvious tactic would work and is a sensible one. After all, the post office lost over $1 billion just in the last quarter of 2012 - and that included the holiday season of which they apparently did not get much of a share of the business.
But what debt answer would be a lot more creative and fun? Comic Jimmy Kimmel has the answer. He advocates the President legalize marijuana and then put the U.S. Post Office to be the only guys who can deliver it. Outrageous? Maybe, uh, hmmm.... it's actually a monopoly idea that would work! Yay! Capitalism at work! :)
That aside - because we know it will never happen - then how about Kimmel's latest answer to the real world U. S. Post Office Gear the agency is planning to sell? The agency has teamed with a Cleveland supplier for post office uniform wear that might prove useful as a Halloween costume - or stealing social security checks out of mailboxes from trusting elderly folks.
We all know that the cosmetic industry is a multi-billion dollar happy place. Kimmel suggests "why not sell a fragrance" promoted by the post office? Here Jimmy Kimmel promotes "Manila" as the upscale new fragrance to hit the market place. Enjoy your grin as you coast into the weekend. Ah... that feels better, now doesn't it?
